2 General Information’s
The IBC2524’s are state-of-the-art electronic 120 VAC to 24 VDC Converter / Battery chargers and are UL and CUL
(Canadian) listed. Their compact size and quiet operation gives greater flexibility in selecting the mounting location for
either OEM aftermarket or installation.
The IBC2524 battery chargers have a built-in Charge Controller module. The Charge Controller is a microprocessor
controlled device incorporated in the IBC2524 Charger which constantly monitors the batteries, and then automatically
adjusts the charger’s output voltage based on its charge status. The Charge Controller has four (4) operating Modes
(BOOST, NORMAL, STORAGE and EQUALIZE). Each Mode is automatically selected by the Charge Controller and
ensures a fast yet safe recharge for the batteries. See chart below for details.
28.8 Volts (Boost Mode) Rapidly brings the batteries up to 90% of full charge / LED blinks rapidly
27.2 Volts (Normal Mode) Safely completes the charge / LED blinks slowly.
26.4 Volts (Storage Mode) Maintains charge with minimal gassing or water loss / LED is steady ON
28.8 Volts (Equalizing Mode) Every 21 hours of constant use, the output voltage will raise to 28.8 for a
15-minute period to prevent sulphating
THE INTEGRATED CHARGE CONTROLLER’S ABILITY TO CHANGE THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF THE
CHARGER WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO RECHARGE YOUR
BATTERY. THE LOWER VOLTAGE FOR STORAGE MODE PREVENTS GASSING AND REDUCES WATER
LOSS DURING LONG-TERM STORAGE.
